It was only a matter of time, but Activision/Blizzard has finally taken the next steps against the developer of the mobile game Heroes of Warfare. Oh, you’ve never seen the game? Take a look at the video below before you continue.

Now that you’re familiar with the mobile game, anyone with eyes can tell that this is a 100% ripoff of Overwatch. Blizzard China and NetEase are suing the game’s maker according to our source. In addition, they demand an apology and restitution. Blizzard also wants the game removed from the Apple App store.

We will see how far this one goes, but Blizzard has a very strong case. Some of the same sounds, character models, moves, and maps are used in the mobile game. If you’re one of the people who play this game, better get your gaming time in while you still can.
